Abstract

Clustering algorithms often use distance measure as the measure of similarity between point pairs. Such clustering algorithms are difficult to deal with the curse of dimensionality in high-dimension space. In order to address this issue which is common in clustering algorithms, we proposed to use MIC instead of distance measure in k-means clustering algorithm and implemented the novel MIC-kmeans algorithm for high-dimension clustering. MIC-kmeans can cluster the data with correlation to avoid the problem of distance failure in high-dimension space. The experimental results over the synthetic data and real datasets show that MIC-kmeans is superior to k-means clustering algorithm based on distance measure.
